You…and him…and me… We are all doing the best we can in the ways we know how. And none of us know how to make this better, but we are all trying. Doesn’t that knowledge already make it a little better…? I think…rather than charging ahead alone at the same time, in the same ways we always try to fix things….we should perhaps work together on this. Or else we really will be stuck.
[Kisses Nanami’s cheek before leaning forward, resting against him]
We all need to be patient with each other…and assume the best, hmm? As for Envy, are you sure you’re all right. I am taking care of you right now.
We do need to learn how to work together. Not just for the sake of work but for keeping all of this from falling apart. I really don't want to lose you.
[He wraps an arm around Azul to keep him close, even if it makes him feel guilty because he knows Envy will need the support more and soon.]
I'm fine. Other than being a little insulting about seeing my eyes he didn't hurt me at all. I shouldn't have showed him my cursed technique, though, he reacted poorly to it even when I tried to reassure him that I wouldn't cut him even if I could. He was unsure of how to cut the melon I gave him and I thought maybe I could help without the stress of having him give me a knife. But now he knows I can cut through things without a cutting edge and that will almost certainly make him less inclined to trust me...
[He's spiraling a little, in case that's the answer to Azul's question about if he's alright.]
[Wraps his arms around Nanami’s waist, setting his chin on the other man’s shoulder]
He is probably a little intimidated still considering what happened between you two.
That said, it sounds like he is trying to work through it. Just like you need time on some things, so does he. You’ll both get there, if that’s where you decide you want to be.
[Holds on a bit tighter to make his presence felt]
You’re not going to lose me. I trust us to figure out a way that we can all exist.
[Nanami's wing reaches out to wrap around Azul. Many of the feathers have already grown in, although it's easy to see where they're not fully grown out yet. But all the new feathers look healthy and in a few days he'll probably be back to his usual look.]
I know you've forgiven me for hurting him, but it's not forgotten by any of us. I just need to make sure I'm worthy of your forgiveness. And his.
And your trust.
[He smiles a little, it's hard to resist Azul when he's like this.]
Oh. Do you know what sorts of things he likes? I'm sure I can keep bringing fruit forever but I would rather find something that can occupy his time for longer than eating does. Art supplies, or books, or maybe a puzzle?
[Hums in thought, rubbing his cheek against Nanami's shoulder]
Hmmmm....what he likes.... I know he really likes his phone these days. Perhaps a cute case or charm for it? He is prone to almost breaking it, so perhaps one of those little straps so he can wear it around his neck?
He loves appearances and playing with his.... So perhaps clothing you think he would look attractive in? And make sure to tell him you think he would look attractive in them or that you want to see him in them. And mean it.
Perhaps something decorative for his room? He really is not prone to buying things, but he loves gifts. He's kept everything I have given him.
As far as hobbies....he does not really have any? He likes gifts, he likes experiences.... That said, if you want to introduce a hobby to him.... Perhaps something simple to start? I think he would probably get defeated if it was something that he couldn't do well right out the gate. He's very clever, so puzzles are not a bad idea. I enjoy board games... And I think he might too. That would be something he could play with Velvet and me or you and me....
That's helpful, thank you, darling. What would I do without you?
[He says that and really means it this time, he's feeling better than when he walked in and he has a better idea of how he's going to try and mend things with Envy.]
It's late and I'm sure I've already kept you too long. You should go home.
[It hurts a little less to think of it that way, to think of Azul being at home there with someone else.]
Come to my place. I will have room enough for you to leave whatever you'd like. I even got a TV not that long ago, and I haven't gotten much use out of it, still.
